Had it near the end of 2019 in November. 105 degree fever, body aches, chills and fatigue to the point where I couldn't sit up to be on my computer for more than 5 minutes before needing to lay back down. Had to call out of work 4 days in a row because I couldn't even drive myself. Took me about 8 days to start feeling decent.
The scary thing was the effects after when I would do any kind of running or intense workout I wouldn't be able to breathe. It felt like no air was getting absorbed in my lungs and my hands and feet would go numb. This happened on and off for a couple months but after consistently working out again it has fortunately stopped. For background, I was 26 years old, no pre-existing conditions, and worked out 4-5 times a week. Everyone wants to talk about how low the death rate is but no one wants to recognize that you can have long term effects after, I consider myself lucky because I hear a lot of people who were very active end up not being able to workout without getting lightheaded and deprived of oxygen.
